Paul Bunyan Communications has started construction on expanding its all-fiber optic network the GigaZone to the areas of Ball Bluff, Cornish and Verdon Townships south of the city of Jacobson.
“Our dedication remains steadfast in our mission to extend all-fiber optic gigabit broadband internet to underserved areas in our region. Internet access is no longer a luxury but a necessity for everyday life. Year by year, our cooperative strives to provide this crucial connectivity to more homes and businesses in northern Minnesota,” said Gary Johnson, Paul Bunyan Communications CEO/general manager.
Anyone interested in getting connected to the all-fiber optic broadband network should sign up for service now before construction is completed. That can be done online, over the phone or in person at the Grand Rapids Customer Service & Technology Center or Cooperative Headquarters in Bemidji.
